"We found out Christmas Eve. We told my family we had a group present for them and when they opened it there was a 0000 white terry baby jumpsuit inside :) they guessed pretty quickly what we were trying to tell them!"

"We had no idea we were expecting our second child until I was getting prepped for an operation to receive laser treatment to remove cancer cells in my cervix. The nurse said I had to take a test just incase I could pregnant. When it came back as positive I bought a badge that said 'best big brother ever' from the hospital cafeteria and pinned it on our sons shirt. We drove to my husbands work and our son proudly showed his dad. My husband had to take a double look! Was the best way I could surprise him"

"My daughter bought a cookie cake with a stork on it that said "we are expecting" and revealed it while we were out eating for my son in laws birthday. We thought all along before we saw it that it was gonna be a birthday cookie. They got us good!!"

"I sent a balloon bouquet to DH at work and the card read, 'We're going to need a bigger car'"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"I made little cards with my 10 week ultra sound on the front and a personalized note "from the baby" inside then presented each one individually."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"We told everyone that, due to dedication to our family, we were promoting our daughter to BIG SISTER."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"I found out the day after Christmas, so the tree was still up. I told DH that I "forgot" to give him a gift and left it under the tree and he could unwrap it when he got home from work. I wrapped up the positive pregnancy test, left it under the tree and went upstairs to shower. He was so excited to get another gift that he came home early. All I heard was him running up the stairs screaming when he got home!"

"A friend tried to tell me in a roundabout way that she was pregnant - and then went home in tears because I had just smiled and nodded, having no idea what she was talking about. So when it was my turn I messaged friends with the subject line (and announced on Twitter), "I'M PREGNANT, BITCHES." Sometimes being direct is best."

"We invited both of our mothers over for dinner and I had a cake made at the local store. It was meant to be a baby shower cake but I had them put "Congratulations Grandma's" on it.It had a really cute little stork figurine on it that we saved as a momento. When I brought the cake out there were a few seconds of silence then the room erupted w/ congratulations and mild screaming. It was so much fun!!"

"I had a friend special order fortune cookies to say "A baby in your future," invite everyone over for chinese and said everyone MUST read their fortunes at the same time..."

"It was christmas and my parents live interstate. they knew we'd been battling infertility for 2 years already so when I called christmas morning I said "Merry christmas Nana" to my mum when she answered. I heard a shriek and a lot of commotion, then she started crying. According to dad she had dropped the phone and jumped around the living room screaming. Not at all like my mother."

"My mother figured it out long before I was ready to tell, all because I turned down a glass of champagne. The best reveal was for my grandparents. To put this in context, you have to understand that my grandfather has been wanting to be a great-grandfather since I was 15 years old. It was driving him nuts that we had been married for three years and no baby. So at a big fancy dinner for their 60th wedding anniversary, in front of about 100 friends and family, I told him I had been working on their gift but it wasn't complete, but I brought a picture of it. I whipped out the framed ultrasound photo and it sounded like a bomb went off with all the squealing. Of course, my grandfather had to have it explained to him, having no idea what it was a picture of."

"My favorite I've ever heard was some friends who found out a couple weeks before us that they're pregnant had a big family dinner, and my girlfriend said she wanted to take a picture of the whole family, so her husband got up & put the camera on record instead of to snap a picture, her husband said "what do we say Megan??" and she says "We're pregnant!!" as everyone is smiling & ready for the picture- everyone turned to her in shock & surprise and starting hugging her, and they got it all on camera."

"When I found out the sex of our baby (which wasn't planned since my husband had to miss the apt, stupid doc lol) I bought a little blue onesie that said 'if you think I'm handsome, you should see my daddy' and I folded it up and put it I'm my husbands dresser, so the next morning when he was getting ready for work he found it and was totally shocked. :). His face was priceless."

"Invite them over -- tell them to open your oven and in it you will find a bun."

"I posted picture of a bun in a oven on my Facebook page!"

"I told my hubby with a card. I wrote on outside:
Blank card: $2
Fine point marker: $1
Home pregnancy test: $12
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
On the inside I taped the positive hpt and wrote:
The look on your face when you realize you're going to be a dad...priceless"

Editor's Note: I hope you're happy that many of you made me cry. Oh, and do you like my graphics? It's nice to see my Grandparents hard earned money for college is being put to good use. Feel free to steal them.
